Self-willed persons remain engrossed in vices like lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, whereas Guru-conscious persons are kind, sympathetic and contented.

In the company of saintly persons, one attains faith, love and devotion; whereas in the company of base and fake people, one gets pain, suffering and base wisdom.

Without the refuge of the True Guru self-oriented persons fall in the cycle of birth and death. Obedient Sikhs of the Guru drink deep the nectar of Guru's words, imbibe them in their heart and thus achieve salvation.

In the clan of Guru-conscious persons, knowledge is clean and invaluable like swans. Just as a swan is capable of separating milk from water, so do the Guru-oriented Sikhs discard all that is base and feel satiated with superior deeds. (287)
